Genshin Impact is Throwing a Surprise Party for the Community
Ready for a plot twist? Genshin Impact just dropped a brand‑new free five‑star character: Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn. That’s right—no one saw it coming, but it’s pretty much the best freebie the game has ever offered.
Why It Feels Like a Dream
- The announcement popped up just after the
Version 2.0update, which kicked off a fan‑favorite banner with Kamisato Ayaka. - Instant boosts for four‑star characters like Ningguang, Yanfei, and Chongyun—because why should you have to wait?
- Next up, in Version 2.1 (September 1, 2021): Aloy arrives for the first time, and she’ll reappear in a later “Saviour from Another World” event in Version 2.2.
How the Get‑It Works
PlayStation 4 and 5 owners get the golden ticket first—just head to the in‑game mail to claim this five‑star treasure. PC, Android, and iOS players will be next in line, so teamwork, folks. Note: you need to be Adventure Rank 20 or higher to join the party.
Meet the Cryo Christmas Angel
On the official blog’s character rundown, Aloy is the Cryo element hunter with an arrow‑shooting style that’s eerily reminiscent of Ganyu. Watch her unleash a snowstorm of righteous revenge. Her iconic line: “I’m not much for talking about myself. The mission is what’s important.” Spoiler alert: the mission is absolutely thrilling.
What’s Coming Up
It’s not just Aloy. MiHoYo has been pouring fresh updates like a faucet. Besides the Kaedehara Kazuha beat‑down we recieved with Version 2.0, Va2.0 let us revel in two shiny new five‑star archer gems—Ayaka and Yoimiya. All with their own quests, and the brand‑new region of Inazuma to stroll through.
And if you’re wondering about the company’s next tug of war, all the earnings from this free‑to‑play juggernaut put its staff into envy‑inducing gear—all grabbed at our very own PS5 and RTX 3070 combo earlier this year. Talk about a winning streak!
More Good News
We’re also hyped to see the PS5 launch of Genshin Impact—with improved visuals and extra goodies. Be on the lookout for more updates under the “Saviour from Another World” banner. Trust us: you’ll keep coming back for more loot, adventures, and that sweet win‑feel.
